Default do these times seem right ?

Took My Car To The Track For The First Time This Year Since The Head And Cam Swap. With The Mods Listed In My Sig My Car Went
60ft=1.8632
330ft=5.3063
1/8 Et=8.1641
1/8 Mph=86.24
1000ft=10.6521
1/4 Et=12.7691
1/4 Mph=106.64
Do These Times See On With The Mods I Have Done? Seems Like I Should Be Running Faster. Any Ideas? Other 4 Runs Were Very Consistent With These Times Also

I would say it should run faster, was it hot out? what was the elevation? Did you get a tune after the heads/cam?

Your mph is low, did you have the pedal all the way to floor? j/k

you should be alot faster than that, elevation and heat would cause you to run slower than someone at sea level. I would guess that you should be low 12's-high 11's with thoes mods..

Definitely not running as strong as it should be considering I ran a nearly identical time in my bolt-on car at full weight on a hot day (> +2000 DA).

definetly running slow. my mph was about 112 with the cam in my sig with just a base tune. i'm not sure what the DA was that day but it was about 93-95 on the track and humid as hell.

Whats your hp and torque numbers? I am actually in the same situation (even worse times though), im running about a 13.5 at 106 mph, but im on street tires and the best 60ft i can get is a 2.3 with this florida heat. I am also trying to figure out why I am trapping so low. I am starting to think I started out with a 14.5 second car, because the car feels much much faster than it did stock. Maybe my tranny is going too and I just don't know it.

Wow dude thats slow as ****. You need to tune it or something. I run 12.8 all nite and i dont have much done. Those AFR alone should power you well into the low 12's

Your tune is wacked. Check your shift points, I would log your runs & keep adjusting it until there right. Also make sure your not getting any false knock & being put in the low octane table. 98's sometimes have that issue (mine did), Before I swap my sensor's out for the new type I copied the high octane table into the low. When you got it tuned what AFR did they tune it to & is your TM still active? You should be in the 11's with a good 60', definitly with AFR205's.

Take into consideration I run 12.7 with full exhaust and intake, and nittos. There's definately something wrong.

I went 11.90@112 cam only/w a bad tune. First of all, scrap those tires. Get yourself a set of M/T drag radials and shave 2-4 tenths off right there. I have a 224 cam with the same size converter and was cutting 1.63's all day long. With no suspension/chassis stiffening. My mods were, lid and filter, pulley, TR 224 cam, LT's, ORY, LM exhaust, M/T drag radials thats it!

yeah, what everyone else said.....when i had a stock stall i went 12.5 at 112 with a 1.89 60ft.....at milan, mi......when it was 85+ and humid.......with stock internals and stock intake and no tuning.......i'd want to be at least mid 11s if i were you.....i would think it would be pretty obvious if the trans wasn't doing it's job if you're running those times with those mods

That's definetly slow for what you have done. Look at my sig to see what I ran n/a and I don't even have headers.
